The first parody of the John Lewis Christmas advert has landed

Ah the John Lewis ad. A heart-warming message about the joys of a child’s Christmas morning.

Or…is it?

At first glance it’s the lovely story of a little girl who loves to jump given a trampoline for Christmas, only to be beaten to her first bounce by her Boxer dog Buster.

On second glance, it’s a terrible tale about rodents invading a suburban family’s garden and destroying one hopeful little girl’s dream.

Yup. Christmas is actually ruined by the acrobatics of a curious badger, a couple of foxes, and a hedgehog, which is a pretty frightening prospect on a trampoline anyway – basically a set of upturned spikes flying through the air.

The Poke created this hilarious little number just four hours after the original came out.

‘In our version we have aimed to raise awareness of the mild annoyance of urban wildlife experienced by middle class city dwellers. For many it’s a problem,’ said James Herring from The Poke.

Pesky little blighters.

Of course it’s all in jest. The real 2016 Buster The Boxer campaign sees John Lewis partnered with The Wildlife Trusts charity raising money with the sales of stuffed animals from the real advert.

Buster The Boxer can be bought for £15, while the others are retailing for £12, with 10% of all sales going to the charity.

If you want to see Buster doing his airborne thing on TV, the real ad will air tonight around 9.15pm during ITV’s drama Paranoid.

Or you can just watch it again here for funsies.
